I did math, graduated at the dotcom bust where all the jobs were actuarial (not my interest). Went back to school for EE, and I've found there are more jobs, more interesting jobs, and better pay writing software than being an EE.

I think this is extremely common. Problem is that CS101 coding interviews are common now, and EEs are just not prepared to speak that language.

That's not true at all. I've rarely been turned down after an interview.
